Silent Leather Bomber Jacket

Selectism - silent-bomber-jacket-01

We’re all about seasonally ready attire, but sometimes we just like to dream. This Silent bomber jacket isn’t great for right now, but when the weather calms down (or the seasons change) it’ll be a good look. Obviously it’ll be a better look if you wear a shirt underneath. (Oki-Ni)

“Boredom: A Lively History” Book

selectism - "Boredom: A Lively History" Book

Written by a Canadian, Peter Toohey, “Boredom: A Lively History Boredom: A Lively History Book ” has the best title of any book released this week.

This informative and entertaining investigation of boredom—what it is and what it isn’t, its uses and its dangers—spans more than 3,000 years of history and takes readers through fascinating neurological and psychological theories of emotion, as well as recent scientific investigations, to illustrate its role in our lives. There are Australian aboriginals and bored Romans, Jeffrey Archer and caged cockatoos, Camus and the early Christians, Dürer and Degas. Toohey also explores the important role that boredom plays in popular and highbrow culture and how over the centuries it has proven to be a stimulus for art and literature.

One wonders what Toohey would say about Tumblr.

Copies are available from YUP and Amazon Boredom: A Lively History Book .

Selectism - post-overalls-shirt-01

After that dose of Perks crazy, we feel it’s only right to showcase some calm. We’re not sure when it happened, but it looks like everyone in the timeless classics set is doing a green shirt of some kind. We’re not complaining though, especially when they look as good as this one. Sadly, this won’t transform you into Miles Davis on Milestones. (Bureau)

Selectism - perks-and-mini-connections-jumper-01

When we see jumpers like this we get all Russell Crowe in Gladiator ‘is this not why you are here?!’. It’s almost like it’s daring you to wear it. Said you liked patterns? well give this a go. It’s fair (and bleedingly obvious) to say that this isn’t one for the wallhuggers. (Wood Wood)

Selectism - this-is-naive

01. Recently, Randomly #62

More beautiful pictures. (This is Naive)

02. Murray makes Miami boxing pilgrimage

“Andy Murray loves his boxing so much that when you throw the name Peter Buckley into the conversation, one of the most obscure British sportsmen of recent years, he can immediately tell you that he’s the journeyman from Birmingham who retired recently with a memorable record of 32 wins and 256 losses.” (BBC)

03. Sales of shorts soar – but do we wear them well?

“Sales of men’s shorts have more than doubled since this time last year, as Britain enjoyed the warmest weekend of the year so far. John Lewis reported that sales had more than doubled between January and April owing to the recent spate of hot weather, but said the success was also attributable to its range of tailored shorts, which were proving popular among men seeking a “preppy look”.” (The Independent)

04. Laurent Gbagbo’s humiliating fall

“There was to be no suicide pill, no bullet in the brain, no heroic martyrdom. Instead, it is claimed, there was a humiliating slap on the cheek and Laurent Gbagbo was hauled from his bunker and paraded before the TV cameras.” (Guardian)
